Kenya–UK Trade Hits Record Sh360 Billion in Q3 2025

Kenya’s bilateral trade with the United Kingdom reached a record Sh360 billion (approximately US$2.3 billion) in the third quarter of 2025, highlighting strengthening commercial ties between the two countries. The growth was largely driven by robust Kenyan exports of tea, coffee, and horticultural produce, which continue to enjoy strong demand in the UK market. The figures reflect Kenya’s strategic positioning as a key agricultural supplier and the benefits of preferential trade arrangements supporting market access. Trade momentum has also been reinforced by deeper investment engagement, with discussions advancing at the UK–Kenya Business Forum, where both public and private sector stakeholders are exploring opportunities across agriculture, manufacturing, green energy, and services. The strong trade performance underscores the UK’s role as one of Kenya’s most important export destinations and investment partners, while reinforcing Nairobi’s broader strategy to diversify export markets and attract long-term foreign capital.
